TRB Brown Recipe - Saison?

[coypoo]

I accidentally bought double the grain for this beer. Does anyone think if did half of it with a saison yeast it would be good? I have a few sour blends/cultures so could do 10 gallons of sour stuff, but was hoping to get something with a little faster turnaround.

That looks like a good dark Saison. I would increase the value of hops, and consider spices. Tis the season and all that...

I would ditch the crystal and mash low.

Yes it will work - but add more hops to the saison half (if doing a single boil, run off the sour half first, then add enough flameout hops to hit 20ish IBU, wait 20 minutes, then run off the second half - that assumes plate or counter flow chiller though).
